Stephen Smalley 76913d8adb Deprecate use of flask.h and av_permissions.h.
Also remove all internal uses by libselinux.
This requires deleting the old class/perm string lookup tables
and compatibility code for kernels that predate the /sys/fs/selinux/class
tree, i.e. Linux < 2.6.23.

This also fixes a longstanding bug in the stringrep code; it was allocating
NVECTORS (number of vectors in the legacy av_perm_to_string table, i.e.
the total number of legacy permissions) entries in the per-class perms array
rather than MAXVECTORS (the maximum number of permissions in any
access vector).  Ho hum.  I already fixed this in Android but forgot it
here.

Stephen Smalley 9eb9c93275 Get rid of security_context_t and fix const declarations.
In attempting to enable building various part of Android with -Wall -Werror,
we found that the const security_context_t declarations in libselinux
are incorrect; const char * was intended, but const security_context_t
translates to char * const and triggers warnings on passing
const char * from the caller.   Easiest fix is to replace them all with
const char *.  And while we are at it, just get rid of all usage of
security_context_t itself as it adds no value - there is no true
encapsulation of the security context strings and callers already
directly use string functions on them.  typedef left to permit
building legacy users until such a time as all are updated.

This is a port of Change-Id I2f9df7bb9f575f76024c3e5f5b660345da2931a7
from Android, augmented to deal with all of the other code in upstream
libselinux and updating the man pages too.
